' NECKWEAR HOLDER.

Application filed September 6,1927. Serial No.'217,591.

present construction is formed from wire and i is considerably simplified in construction and consequently'less expensive to produce.

The object 'of the present invention is to provide a rack, or stand, of the class desig-' nated, which is formed from wire to produce a simple, durable and compact article-supporting means for collars and neckties.

duce a rack, or stand, of the class indicated which is provided with a revoluble necktie holder of simple form arranged to hold a number of neckties in segregated relation, so that any selected necktie may be readily removed therefrom or replaced thereon.

Other objects and advantages of my invention will be apparent with reference to the subjoined specification and accompanying one sheet of drawings, in which: v

Figure 1 is a perspective View illustrating the preferred form of my invention and showing the relative arrangement of the collar support, necktie holder and supporting brace therefor Figure 2 is an enlarged sectional detail illustrating the method of forming the necktie holder Figure 3 is an enlarged sectional detail of one of the necktie engaging clips of the necktie holder, the'section being indicated by the line 33 in Figure 1; and I Figure 4 is a plan section illustrating the necktie holder.

It will be observed with reference to the drawings that the entire rack is formed from medium gauge wire which provides a cheap yet strong, and durable article for the pur pose specified. In detail the rack consists of an upright support 5 having secured to its upper end a plurality of upwardly and outwardly curved arms 6, providing braces for a collar supporting ring? to which the ends of the arms 6 are spot welded as indicated at 8. The lower ends 9 of the arms 6 being preferably spot welded to the upper end of the support 5 as indicated at 10.

The supporting bracket 11 consists of a at 22. Another object of my invention is to propair of strands of wire spot-welded together and bent to form the arms 12 and.13,

supporting member 14, screw loops 1'5 and 16,

.and twisted ends forming support-embracing loops 1'? and18, in which loops the support 5 'isadapted to freely rotate. The member ltof the bracket. is placed against any object, such as the wall of a room, and screws or nails are inserted in the loops 15 and 16 and driven home, which holdsthe support 5 ina vertical position, as shown in Figure 1.

The lower end of the support 5 carries a necktie holder 19 which holder consists of a ring 20 provlded with a cross piece 21 which is spot welded thereto and in turn is welded to the lower end of the support 5 as indicated The necktie holdinganembers proper are formed from a single piece of wire looped to form the various holders 23, which holders consist of the wiresections 24 looped at their outer ends 25 and providing a centrally disposed ring 25 of somewhat smaller diameter than the ring 20. The inner sections 26 and 27 of the holders are spot welded to the upper side of thering 20 andboth rings are rigidly carried by the cross piece 21 as shown. Spring clips 28 having their inner ends preferably spot welded to the ring 20, be-

tween the ends 26 and 27 of the supporting arms are provided, andextend outwardly be tween these arms and are bent upwardly at their outer ends 29, the looped ends 25 of the 1 arms being bent downwardly, as indicated at 30to widen the space between the ends 29 of the clips 28 and said looped ends 25, so

that a necktie may be readilyinserted between the clips and supports. The ring 7 provides a support for any number of collars 31, which may be hung in position, as shown in dot-and-dash lines andthe necktie holder 19 provides holders for, at least four neckties 32, as shownin dot-and dash lines in Figure 1. The ring 7 support 5 and holder 19 rotate as a unit in the bearing loops 17 and 18.

An article of the class described constructed in accordance, with my invention, provides a handy rack, or stand, which may be attached in any convenient place near a dresser, or it may be attached directly to the dresser or any other article of furniture. I

While I have shown and described the pre ferred embodiment of the invention it is, of course, to be understood that I reserve the right to make such changes in the form, con- 1.
